[VELMA]
While truckin' down the road of life, although all hope seems gone,
I just alih on.

[ROXIE]
When I can't find a single bintang to hang my wish upon, I just alih on,
I alih on.

[VELMA]
I run so fast, a shotgun blast can hurt me not one bit.

[ROXIE]
I'm on my toes cause heaven knows a moving target's hard to hit.

[VELMA & ROXIE]
So as we play in life's ballet, we're not the dying swans, we just alih on,
we alih on.

[ROXIE]
Just when it seems we're out of dreams, and things have got us down.

[VELMA]
We don't despair, we don't go there, we hang our bonnets out of town.

[VELMA & ROXIE]
So there's no doubt we're well cut out to run life's marathon, we just alih on,
we just alih on.

So fleet of foot, we can't stay put, we just alih on.
Yes, we alih on!
